ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Pacific Gas and Electric Company Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Docket No.:
50-275 License No.:
DPR-80 During an NRC inspection conducted on August 18 through September 28, 1996, one violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violations are listed below:
A.
Diablo Canyon Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires written procedures to be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978; Section 1 of Appendix A requires that administrative procedures be developed for procedure adherence and review.
Licensee Procedure AD2.ID1, Revision 4, "Procedure Use and Adherence," requires that "issued-for-use" procedures be verified current.
Step 5.1.1.a states that, when a procedure is taken from a controlled manual and is used in the performance of work, the cognizant supervisor or designated individual shall verify that it is the current revision immediately prior to starting work.
Step 5.1.1.c states that "procedures in use longer than the "issued-for-use" interval shall be verified to be the current revision..."
Contrary to the above, between April 18, 1996, and September 27, 1996, both verifiers and chemistry technicians failed to identify and update the superseded "issued-for-use" copy of Procedure CAP E-1, "Sampling of Primary Systems," in the Unit 1 primary sample room.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Pacific Gas and Electric Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region IV, 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas 76011, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation:
(1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the require'd response.
If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this
'P6i02'POi94 96i022 PDR ADQCK 05000275 8
Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction.
However, if you find it necessary to include such information, you should clearly indicate the specific information that you desire not to be placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support your request for withholding the information from the public.
Dated at Arlington, Texas thie~ay of October 1996
